Compression for Shin Splints: Can It Help?

Compression for Shin Splints: Can It Help?

In a quick answer, yes! In a more detailed answer, let me explain how LEGEND compression works with your body and why it helps your shin splints, calf cramps, and other foot/ankle/leg ailments.

First off, those who suffer from shin splints and calf cramps are typically runners. LEGEND compression running socks and compression sleeves have the graduated compression technology that allows your feet and legs to have proper circulation and blood flow. When your muscles get the right amount of oxygen and blood, your feet and legs feel less tired and sore during and after your workouts or runs. Compression applies pressure to your veins, which pushes blood to your muscles at a faster pace and ultimately prevents the fatigue.

Another benefit from compression socks and sleeves is that they stabilize your muscles as you exercise, which decreases vibration and impact to your legs while you’re running, thus helping to prevent shin splints and joint soreness.

While compression helps alleviate minor aches and pains, all injuries should be accessed by a doctor to get to the bottom of what is causing them. Wearing LEGEND compression can make your feet and legs feel better while exercising and ultimately helps reduce fatigue.
